*Backgoundexternal image arrow-10x10.png/Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Up): Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a pathogenic bacterial species in the family Mycobacteriaceae and the causative agent of most cases of tuberculosis. Robert Koch first discovered M. tuberculosis in 1882, revealing that MTB has an unusual, waxy coating on its cell surface which makes the cells impervious to Gram staining, therefore acid-fast detection techniques are used instead. The physiology of M. tuberculosis is highly aerobic and requires high levels of oxygen. MTB, primarily a pathogen of the mammalian respiratory system, infects the lungs. Today, the most frequently used diagnostic methods for TB are the tuberculin skin test, acid-fast stain, and chest radiographs.
